Sometimes I REALLY get excited about deliveries. So much so that I think UPS and FedEx dread coming into the shop. I rush at them, trying to "help" when in reality all these guys want to do is drop the boxes and get on their way.

Especially today. It was a particularly heavy mix of boxes and as I rounded the corner from behind my desk the delivery guy made eye contact over the cardboard and warned, "Whoa, lady. Let me drop them on the counter. One second and they're all yours."

So after confirming that the boxes were indeed what I was waiting for, I'm THRILLED to announce that Kanibal Home will now be carrying a limited range of decorating, curiosity and craft books!!!

I'm so excited. The teenage nerd in me is doing a completely awkward and embarrassing happy dance.

Yesterday I set up (a pop up) shop with Rita and Sam, the talented duo from Rubella Jewelry, at the 3rd annual Not Yo Mama's craft fair in Jersey City. It was a busy morning for me flitting back and forth from the shop to the fair, but completely worth the hustle. I got to hang out with Rubella all day and ogle their glorious goods and yell next door to Laura from Swallow & the Swift who had an equally impressive spread. My wonderful customers and friends breezed in and out of our booth all day and I even scoped out some new vendors and scooped up a few treats for myself (something I rarely do these days because I'm usually just shopping for Kanibal Home).

And just when I thought the day couldn't get any better, Shana from MakeupbySha (who might have a blossoming photography career) sent me over these terrific shots from our booth:

(A few offerings from Rubella)

(Kanibal Home's collection of Curiosity Vials - $10)

(Kanibal Home's shell slice necklaces - $5)

(Kanibal Home's killer bee vial necklaces - $35)

(KH's collection of vintage magazines - $2)

(Chef the dog -- hot, bothered, but happy to be visiting all the booths)
